Hearing it's a done deal. He will report to the Canucks, not Utica, thereby burning year one of his ELC.
Will be interesting to see what this kid can do. He’s got good size and skill, very good shot. Not the greatest skater but he’s solid. He should be NHL ready or very close to it anyway, so will be another guy fighting for a spot on the big team.
Anybody have any idea what’s going to happen this summer? Way too many players for too few positions. Something’s gotta give.
And hopefully they announce it in the next week---(insert smiley with fingers crossed).
So someone more knowledgable than me pkaesa confirm.
If Gaudette's plays one game in the NHL he burns one year on his ELC. Correct?
But he needs to play ten games for the season to count as one pro season. Correct?
If this is true, he will be exempt from the expansion draft as he will either be a first year or second year pro, depending upon when the expansion draft year happens. Correct?
If this is the case we should be fine exempting players like Gaudette, Lind, Peterson, Dahlen, Gadgovich (s), and any players we draft this year whose are NHL ready.and any other CHL players we pick up or college FA we may sign.
This year is considered Boeser's first full season so if the draft is 19-20 he too will be exempt.
But Hutton, Stetcher, Pouliot, Del Zotto, Tanev, Gudbranson Biega and all the other D arn not exempt except Edler and his full NMC.
Both goalies are daft eligeble, well Bachman too, I'm not sure if AHL seasons count as pro seasons. If they do then Demko is not protected. So are a number of good young Utica players. Perhaps someone could clarify this for me.
I guess it will depend upon when the expansion lottery will be.
This should be part of Benning's due diligence so he is able to protect as many young players as possible making our protection list easier to determine.
Trade Markstrom and get a decent return. Trade Gagne to get something. Expose Erickson. Expose Sutter.
Benning is going to have to make some room with the forward part of the lineup, especially if the twins return. When you consider that Dahlen, Gaudette and Pettersson will be pushing for jobs. No fucking way anyone outside of Horvat, Boeser, Baertschi, Virtanen and for other reasons - Eriksson, Sutter and the twins if they return, should get the benefit of the doubt over Pettersson, Gaudette and Dahlen NOT when you are as terrible as the Canucks are right now. Do your fans a favour, do the empty seats at Rogers arena a favour. Do the apathy a favour bring the team back to life by not littering the line up with ahl retreads and NHL journeymen. Lose with the kids not your Gagners and Bouchers and Dowds
“Tyler Myers is my guy... I was taking to Scotty Bowman last night and he was bringing up his name, and saying he’s a big guy and big guy need big minutes to play, he is playing great for ya… and I agree with him… He’s been exceptional” - Bruce Boudreau

Lipstick has shown why he has yet to earn a steady NHL role. The first couple of game we a mirage.
Expect wild level of competition at the rookie camp and early on at training camp, but also expect cuts to be fast and furious. The abundance of kids and tweeners will make things interesting. Several of the tweeners are at the put up or shut up stage.
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.
I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

Vancouver Canucks sign NCAA star Adam Gaudette to three-year deal
People can now exhale after some of gasps heard around here when he was taking his time signing. Let's see how the kid does in the couple games he'll get now. Hopefully he gets a couple of summer training tips from Brock and comes in hitting the ground running in September.
